Planned power outages in Oregon this weekend


Recommended Posts

30,000 homes in several counties are getting their power shut off to supposedly prevent forest fires. Okay......what do you do when some moron gets one started? Now you have no way to fight it other than hand tools. Your well pump is out of service. I swear these liberals just keep getting dumber every day.

The good citizens of Oregon had better hope that their EV fire engines were all fully charged before the power was cut.

Mebbe they can get some of these horse-drawn, hand-cranked pumpers out of a museum.

Gonna need horsies.

only Portlandistan.  The rest of the state ain't so bad.
Kind of like how if you get rid of the Seattle metro area then the state of Washington is pretty conservative.

Both states are getting more blue all the time. It happens when liberals can't stand it in the mess they have created, so they move and then want to create the same mess all over again. I have been helping family for the past year and a half near Mt. St. Helens, and the area is being taken over by libs.

PNW spirit would rebuild after natural disasters without taking a dime in federal aid. Many times, clear up through the nineties, the economic damage from floods, windstorms, and fires was greater than what was suffered from hurricanes in other states, but the PNW rebuilt without a dime in federal aid.

Most of the people wouldn't have taken it if it was offered, which it usually wasn't, since the PNW was considered "backwards" to fancy people back east.

Had some friends, wifes mother was from back east, she came to visit a few years after they got married. She bought rubber boots and her first pair of jeans for the visit. She thought it was still wood sidewalks and dirt streets. This was about 2002.:anim_lol:
